Civilian Monk Coats

Beauty and Youth Teams with Gloverall to Create Toggled Duffel Jackets

— October 16, 2009 — Fashion
Hip clothier Beauty and Youth recently collaborated with old school classic brand Gloverall to produce these duffel coats. With their long length, hood and retro toggles, at first glance these coats look like something that a monk would wear.

Style-wise, this Beauty and Youth Gloverall coat is truly something different because it is luxuriously warm but stylish enough to be worn out on the town. I can easily picture this coat on a nicely dressed man as he runs errands throughout the city.

The Beauty and Youth Gloverall coat comes in two solid colors (beige and black) as well as a checkered pattern.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Coat Collaboration - The collaboration between Beauty and Youth and Gloverall in producing these duffel coats presents an opportunity for other fashion brands to join forces and create stylish, yet warm outerwear.
2. Revival of Retro Fashion - The retro toggles and long length of the Beauty and Youth Gloverall coats tap into the growing trend of reviving classic styles, opening up possibilities for other brands to bring back vintage designs with a modern twist.
3. Monastic-inspired Fashion - The resemblance to monks' attire in the design of these civilian coats offers a unique inspiration for fashion designers to explore monastic aesthetics and create innovative, minimalist pieces.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - The collaboration of Beauty and Youth with Gloverall in producing these coats highlights potential opportunities for fashion retailers to partner with heritage brands and offer exclusive, premium collections.
2. Outerwear Manufacturing - The success of the Beauty and Youth Gloverall coat presents a disruptive opportunity for outerwear manufacturers to incorporate retro elements and high-quality materials to create fashion-forward yet functional winter coats.
3. Men's Fashion - The stylish and versatile design of the Beauty and Youth Gloverall coat offers men's fashion brands the chance to tap into the demand for well-crafted, timeless pieces that can be worn both casually and formally.
